Great Swordsman
Ch.70 - Testing

“Chairman Zhao, this..” Xu Feng reached into his trouser bag and handed a piece of paper to Zhao Quan, he said, on the paper was a picture of Ma Tao's face that Xu Feng had snapped while waiting for Zhao Quan. Xu Feng had never imagined his drawing skills in his previous life would be useful as well in this world.

“I didn't think you were an artist.”

Zhao Quan let out awe, after all the face images on the paper almost seemed real, this level of skill should already belong to the experts of the artists. Zhao Quan was willing to look at the young Xu Feng, he was a little confused, how could this young man achieve so many achievements at such a young age?

Xu Feng only smiled hearing Zhao Quan's words, he did not try to explain any further. Xu Feng knew that keeping a little bit of a mystery was a good thing, the more unknown he was the more he could make people disinclined to him. This was the life science that Xu Feng had learned through bitter experience.

“I think I'd always be surprised if I kept on being with you.” Zhao Quan chuckled softly as he stored the paper into his pocket, he increasingly appreciated Xu Fengs potential.

Not long after, the train moved towards the camp area of the troops. Xu Feng was now wearing a robe, he covered his head with a hood so that people could not see his face clearly.

Although Zhao Quan said that Xu Feng did not need to bother himself and let their subordinates do this mission, Xu Feng refused. Xu Feng would never feel calm if he did not take part, he honestly did not believe them anymore, after all they did not even realize that someone had infiltrated the army.

Thinking of that, how could Xu Feng fully entrust this matter to them?

When Zhao Quan and Xu Feng arrived, the two guards who had earlier dispelled Xu Feng saluted Zhao Quan. Zhao Quan nodded modestly at the guards before bringing Xu Feng further inside the settlement area of the troops.

“This red tent signifies the tent of the Regiment Commander.” Zhao Quan explained to Xu Feng as they passed through a red tent, Zhao Quan also mentioned that the Regiment Commander commanded a thousand soldiers. Zhao Quan further explained that the division of structures within the army, from the smallest to the largest are the Units, Platoon, Company, Regiment, Division and Legion.

Of course, aside from a thousand soldiers, a Regiment Commander also had his own support staff to help him coordinate a thousand soldiers. Since this was a suddenly formed mixed army, it naturally did not have a permanent structure from the start.

The structure that Zhao Quan mentioned earlier was taken from the structure of the army belonging to the Sky Kingdom, after all they needed to form a system as quickly as possible to organize thousands of soldiers to avoid chaos.

“Wait, I think the number of this army does not reach the level of Legion.” Xu Feng muttered softly.

Zhao Quan nodded, indeed the total army was only ten thousand people, which only included two Divisions, of which each Division was formed by five Regiments. These two Divisions were then led by the Two Core Elders of the Forest Eagle Sect, while Zhao Quan was the Deputy Division Commander of one of the Divisions.

“So so...” Xu Feng looked at Zhao Quan in silence, he did not expect this old man to have such a high standing within the army. There were a total of five Seventh Stage experts while the seats for the Deputy Division Commander were only two, there were only two, for Zhao Quan to be chosen as one of the representatives to be proof that his strength must be top among those experts.

They then chatted even longer before reaching the golden-coloured tent in a white combination, As they got off the carriage, the two guards escorting the tent immediately saluted. Zhao Quan simply nodded in return, he brought Xu Feng inside the tent.

“Luxury place.” Xu Feng clicked his tongue, despite seeming to be wasting money, he was inevitably slightly moved by this interior design. Anyone will feel comfortable and comfortable living in it.

Zhao Quan chuckled as he brought Xu Feng to the living room-like area before calling the maids and asking them to prepare a dish. The servants were a little curious about Xu Feng's mysterious figure, they somewhat did not understand why Xu Feng was covering his face but they did not dare to ask and immediately threw the thought away.

Zhao Quan also originally intended to call every Regiment Commander in his division to introduce Xu Feng to them but Xu Feng refused, saying that it would be better if only a few people knew him.

“Xu Feng, you seem too careful.” Zhao Quan spoke with a joke but Xu Feng did not reply, Xu Feng instead looked at Zhao Quan deeply.

“Chairman, don't tell me you didn't realize it?”

“Not realize what?” Zhao Quan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Feng with an uncertain face.

Xu Feng sighed, he did not end up thinking this old man was completely unaware of it. He then said his concerns and mentioned that it was not impossible for there to be higher-ups of the troops who became their plotters. After all how could Ma Tao enter the army without anyone noticing it? Everything is impossible without the help of insiders.

When he heard Xu Feng's words, Zhao Quan was a little displeased, he didn't expect Xu Feng to look badly at his troops.

“Elder, in these conditions, you should not trust them too much.” Xu Feng frowned at Zhao Quan's response, he was honestly a bit confused as to why this old man he thought was wise didn't understand the situation. There was no way Zhao Quan would be that naive, right?

“Hahaha..” Not long after that Zhao Quan laughed out loud, he looked at Xu Feng with a grin, “You're too serious son, I just want to tease you.”

“Chairman, I sometimes can't tell if you're being serious or joking.” Xu Feng smiled wryly, he did not expect Zhao Quan to also have his own funny side.

“Very good.” Zhao Quan patted his thigh and looked at Xu Feng with praise, this child once again fulfilled his expectations.

He originally wanted to test Xu Feng by mentioning that he wanted to call the Regiment Commander, if Xu Feng was a power-hungry person, he should not have turned down the offer, either, after all making connections with the Regiment Commanders must have brought good things.

He wanted to see if Xu Feng would be easily moved by such things and forget his rationality.
